Article Abstract
Summary: FUSE-PhyloTree is a phylogenomic analysis software for identifying local sequence conservation associated with the different functions of a multi-functional (e.g., paralogous or multi-domain) protein family. FUSE-PhyloTree introduces an original approach that combines advanced sequence analysis with phylogenetic methods. First, local sequence conservation modules within the family are identified using partial local multiple sequence alignment. Next, the evolution of the detected modules and known protein functions is inferred within the family's phylogenetic tree using three-level phylogenetic reconciliation and ancestral state reconstruction. As a result, FUSE-PhyloTree provides a gene tree annotated with both predicted sequence modules and ancestral gene functions, enabling the association of functions with specific sequence regions based on their co-emergence.
Availability And Implementation: FUSE-PhyloTree is provided as Docker and Singularity images including all the required software tools. Images, source code, test data, and documentation are available at https://github.com/OcMalde/fuse-phylotree and https://zenodo.org/records/15855068.
Supplementary Information: Supplementary data, providing an illustration of the application of FUSE-PhyloTree to the fibulin protein family, are available at Bioinformatics online.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare but well-recognized complication of treatment with antiresorptive agents. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the external auditory canal (MROEAC), on the other hand, is even rarer and mostly reported during bisphosphonate exposure. Its pathophysiology is thought to involve complex multifactorial processes, including inhibition of bone remodeling, altered angiogenesis, infection, and inflammation.

Introduction: is a well-recognized etiologic agent of upper respiratory tract disease in tortoises. Although frequently reported in both captive and wild populations across Europe, its occurrence in Portugal had not been previously documented. This study aimed to investigate the presence of in apparently healthy captive tortoises in mainland Portugal and to evaluate potential host- and management-related factors associated with infection.

Accurately identifying evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) is crucial for conservation planning, especially for species like pangolins threatened by overhunting and habitat loss. ESUs help categorize different pangolin populations, aiding in understanding their genetic diversity and distribution, which is vital for targeted conservation efforts. This research generated mitochondrial genomes from historical museum specimens of Sunda pangolins () from underrepresented locations, uncovering a new evolutionary lineage from the Mentawai Islands that diverged from Indochina and west Sundaland populations around 760 000 years ago.

The ability of parasitoid wasps to precisely locate hosts in complex environments is a key factor in suppressing pest populations. Chemical communication plays an essential role in mediating insect behaviors such as locating food sources, hosts, and mates. Odorant receptors (ORs) are the key connection between external odors and olfactory nerves.
